Paid Lead Generation

Local Services Ads for Service Businesses

Local Services Ads sit above traditional Google Ads and the map pack, and you pay per lead instead of per click. For the right service businesses, that's the most efficient local channel available — but it lives and dies on profile optimization, reviews and disputing bad leads. Half Code manages LSAs end to end so you capture qualified local demand and only pay for leads worth paying for.

What Half Code does

How our local services ads work drives results

Google Local Services Ads overview

LSAs show your business, rating and badge at the top of local results and charge you per lead — typically a call or message. We handle verification, budgeting and the day-to-day management that keeps your cost per lead low and your lead quality high.

Ideal industries

LSAs are strongest for licensed, local, appointment-driven services — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, law, real estate and many home and health services. We'll confirm eligibility and whether it fits your economics before you commit.

Profile optimization that wins the ranking

Google ranks LSAs on proximity, reviews, responsiveness and profile completeness. We optimize your services, service area, hours and business details so you appear for the right jobs and rank above competitors.

Review strategy

Reviews are the single biggest LSA ranking factor you control. We build a simple, consistent review-generation process so your rating and volume keep climbing — improving both rank and conversion.

Lead tracking and call quality

We track every LSA lead, listen for quality signals, and dispute spam, wrong-number and out-of-area leads so Google credits them back — keeping your effective cost per qualified lead down.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about local services ads with Half Code.

How is LSA different from regular Google Ads?
With Local Services Ads you pay per lead (a call or message) rather than per click, and you earn the Google Guaranteed badge. They appear above standard Search ads and are managed differently.
Can I dispute leads I shouldn't pay for?
Yes. Spam, wrong-number and clearly out-of-scope leads can be disputed for credit. We monitor and submit disputes on your behalf to protect your budget.
Do reviews really matter for LSAs?
Significantly. Review count and rating are among the strongest factors in LSA ranking and conversion, which is why we build an ongoing review process into the engagement.
Is my business eligible?
Eligibility depends on your industry and location, and licensed trades usually require background checks and license verification. We'll confirm before starting.
